Kieran Read might have set the new world record for longest sin-binning - binned in the 36th minute, the first half went through to the 43rd minute, before he finally came back on in the 49th minute after a long set of phases. A 16 minute sin-bin

ABs have a lineout 30m out from the line now. 10 mins into the second half and a great chance for them to finally try to get some cohesion.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:17:56 PM
ABs looking a lot more urgent here as they move up to within metres of the line.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:18:31 PM
Allow me to counterbalance the current conversation with a small point: Tonga are playing well. #NZLvTGA

TRY ALL BLACKS!

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:19:19 PM
MIlner Skudder has touched down out wide after the hard work was done up front by the forwards.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:20:01 PM
Deserved try there from the All Blacks. Tonga held our for as long as they could but the All Blacks were too powerful in the end. Carter slots the conversion and the All Blacks hold a 15 point lead.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:21:21 PM
Nehe Milner-Skudder scores the try. He may be a small, but proves himself as a wing #NZLvTGA nzh.nu/TerlY http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CQ5tslZWIAA6E2o.jpg

Time for the forward pack to step up ! Skudder confirms 14 jersey. Vito for No. 6

And Carter gets the Penalty - making all three today. nzh.nu/Terrh #NZLvTGA #RWC2015 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CQ5t8A9WgAECa8P.jpg

TAB stat chat from Matt: Kurt Morath is the only student from Hamilton Boys High to appear at this Rugby World Cup.

by Cameron McMillan 10/9/2015 8:24:09 PM
With 25 minutes left Tonga are still running with power and pace and as they progress up over halfway they have earned another penalty. Morath will kick for goal.

Third penalty to Tonga #NZLvTGA nzh.nu/TerPQ

by Cameron McMillan via twitter 10/9/2015 8:25:00 PM
Another good kick from Morath has Tonga up to 9.

TRY ALL BLACKS!

TRY: Nehe Milner-Skudder from the outside winning the race to the ball nzh.nu/TerXE http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CQ5u4gxWgAArzl6.jpg

by Cameron McMillan via twitter 10/9/2015 8:26:33 PM
It started when Ben Smith retrieved the All Blacks kick off, the ball was quickly swung wide left to Barrett who judged his kick forward perfectly and Milner-Skudder won the foot race to score his second.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:26:51 PM
Carter slots the conversion and the ABs are now comfortably running away with this.

Penalty to the All Blacks on halfway and Carter kicks for touch but his kick is a shocker and lands 10m inside touch and is easily caught by Lilo.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:29:37 PM
Sonny Bill on for Conrad Smith! Cheers from the crowd #NZLvTGA nzh.nu/Teso4

by Cameron McMillan via twitter 10/9/2015 8:30:06 PM
Tonga have possession on halfway and SBW is straight into the action with a thumping tackle.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:31:01 PM
Great defence from NZ and they have turned it over and won a penalty. This time Carter finds touch and the ABs will throw in from 10m out.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:32:24 PM
Great take from the ABs and they set up the drive.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:32:59 PM
Carter, Smith and Cane all take a crack at the line. But Tonga stand firm.

TRY ALL BLACKS! Sonny Bill Williams has touched down under the posts.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:33:36 PM
It was a clever little inside ball from Aaron Smith that set SBW up and he strolled through untouched. The ABs have had a very good 10 mins, it's starting to come together.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:35:03 PM
Carter slots the conversion from right in front, he hasn't missed a kick tonight.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:35:30 PM
while this is more ike it, i suspect tonga's lack of fitness is helping the ABs.

MIlner-Skudder is flying down the left wing now and does well to offload to Carter who tries to push it along to Sam Cane but the ball is intercepted. Great running from MIlner-Skudder he has been good today.

by Steven Holloway 10/9/2015 8:37:19 PM
steve, lets not get carried away, my Grandmother wouldn't miss from in front of the posts...
